Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said "it hurts deeply" after a 1-0 defeat at Wolves kept them in the Premier League relegation zone.
Raul Jimenez scored almost a carbon copy of his opener in Saturday's win at West Ham to claim his 15th league goal of the season and bolster Wolves' Champions League qualification hopes.
"We are well aware of where we are and the challenges we face in forgetting that position," said Howe.

"One result will change everything for us at this moment and that is what we have to try and commit to."

AFC Bournemouth are 18th on the League table with 27 points.
